April 21. 1 discussing the Cuban reciprocity bill as it passed the House of Representatives. Repre sentative Payne, chairman of the Com mittee on Ways and Meaas, said today: "The Dingley bill inipo.ses a duty of i.yo on renned sugar, thus increasing the differential. By another section it also imposes a duty on bounty-paid su gar eujjal to the amount of the duty. The bouuty on German refined is 38.." cents )er 100 pounds, which would make a total duty on" German sugar of $2,335. The amendment of Mr. Morris provides that in lieu of the duty now imposed by law there hall be collected on refined sugar $1,823 per 100 pounds. There fore the cut made by the Morris amend ment is Vi cent a pound or TiO ceuts on every 100 . pounds. Tlie result is that the amendment reduces the duty on re fined sugar which is the only product of our beet sugar factories, more than 20 per cent. No comment is necessary. The reduction is made on all sugar re ceived from any country, and affects directly the protection of beet sugar. The bill originally only affected sugar from Cuba, which would not reduce the price or diminish the protection."

After a de bate of three honrs and a half, a caucus of the Democratic members of the House tonight decided to adopt a reso lution proposed by Representatives Jones of Virginia, a member of minority of the Committee on Insular Affairs, endorsing the bill for the civil govern ment of the Philippines proposed by the minority, and adopted the following resolutions also proposed by Mr. Jones: "Approving the bill reported by the minority members of the Committee on Insular Affairs, and believing that it ought not to be difficult to reconcile any differences which there may be between it and that agreed upon by the minority members of the Senate Committee on Philippine Affairs, we request the Dem ocratic members of the Committee on Havana, April 21.

Secretary of War Root and his family arrived here today. Newspaper accounts of the arrival of President-elect Palma at iibara yes terday says that tugs went out in the harbor to meet him. After he had landed a large crowd took the horses from his carriage and H ragged him through, the town. In an interview Senor Palma said that he would appoint Carlos De Zaldo Secretary of State; Fernado Figuredo, chief of the postal department and tele graph service, which are to be combined, and Ruis Rivera, chief of customs. He added that the Cuban government would be stricter than the American in de manding proper service from its em ployes. It would be a point of honor among the Cubans to show their ca pacity for self-government. Senor Pal ma declared that he would economize iu the number of public employes. He looked to all parties and the press to support him in establishing a stable government. He regarded the Spanish elements as an indispensable factor for the happiness of the republic. A banquet will be given in honor of Senor Palma tonight at Gibara, and he will go to Holgaju tomorrow. Washington, April 21. The Senate Philippines committee' today, in execu tive session, decided by a party vote not to hear Mr. Edward Atkinson, on the ground that he had never been to the Philippines and therefore his testimony was not competent. No action was taken on the request of the Democratic majority to call Aguinaldo and other Filipinos from the islands. Six additional witnesses, privates and non-commissioned officers, who claim to have witnessed the infliction of the wa ter cure-and other tortures on the na tives were called to appear next Week, and the committee then adjourned until April 29. Grover Flint of Cambridge, Mass the noted war correspondent and ex- soldier, testified this morning before the committee that he had seen the inflic tion of the water cure on native Filipinos in at least twenty ;ases. In some instances the victim were rendered unconscious. ana lie had heaid ttiat in one cast? death had afterward resulted, although he did not know of that of' his own knowledge. Mr. Flint served in the Philippines as first lieutenant of the Thirty-fifth Volunteer Infantry, which was under the command of Colonel Plummer and Major Geary. Early in May, 1900, the witness said, he had seen the! water cure administered to natives by the Macabebe scouts, the object being to get information as to where their guns were concealed. The scouts were not at that time under any commissioned officer, but were in charge of a sergeant. Next day the water cure was given to several natives by men of his own regiment while he was present. The method of applying the tortnre, he eaid, was to place, the victim on his back, with his head on a rock. Ills mouth was held open by means of a stick or a gun barrel, and then water was poured down his. ri the men laid thetnsriv. tarily, but others h:i! down.

State of Washington May Sue Northern Securities Washington, April 21. Leave to file a bill of complaint against the Northern Securities Company by the State of Washington was today granted by the Supreme Court of the United States in accordance with the general rule. In granting the leave to file, Chief Justice Fuller read a brief opinion, felting the precedent established in the matter of the application of the State of txouisiana to file a bill f jtuictiori against the tSate of 'Te:: -d without expressing any opinion '-ie merits of the controvensy. The general rule governing such cases requires subpoenas to be issued to the defendants at least sixty days before the day fixed for the return, so that the case cannot come on for hearing before the' first day the next term of the court, which will be the second Monday in October. Disposing of the application, Chief Justice Fuller reviewed the action of the court upon similar applications, the last one being that of the Srate of Min nesota for leave to file a bill against the same parties. But there all the neces sary parties could not be brought into the case without defeating the consti tutional jurisdiction of the court. In this case, he said,, that, insuperable ob jection did not arise, and an the court, in the exercise of its original jurisdic tion, should proceed with the greatest caution, giving the fullest consiaeration to all arguments against invoking it, thu court had deemed it bet to jri-.H't tiia pending application.
